Explaining Silverson In-Line Mixer Pumping Capacity
The Mixing Science series produced by Silverson Machines uses animations to explain and demonstrate a range of mixing topics and terms such as Homogenisation and Emulsions.
The latest animation to be released in the series explains the pumping capacity of high shear In-Line mixers. When mixing continuously in larger batches, In-Line mixing is often the method chosen by manufacturers to get the best results; it also offers greater energy efficiency over in-tank mixers as the mixer’s effort is concentrated on the small volume in the mixing chamber rather than having to circulate the entire volume in the tank.
But although Silverson In-Line mixers are self-pumping, some people think that they will need a very powerful machine to recirculate the product back to the top of a large tank. The new animation debunks this by explaining how a Silverson In-Line mixer can recirculate product in a large tank without the need for pumps or additional power.
